Programs, Centers & Institutes

Western is proud to be home to a number of interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary institutes and programs. Many were founded at Western because of our advantageous location situated along the Salish Sea, between the major metropolitan areas of Vancouver, British Columbia and Seattle, and because of the expertise of our outstanding faculty and staff.
